World Wide Web...I haven't heard it called that forever

Hey there party goers. This is another wonderful blog for that Electronic Communications class I've been taking in Fargo, ND. YEAHHHH!!! No seriously.
Anyways, this week we were assigned to read a story literally titled, World Wide Web. It was actually written by a lot of guys that seem to know what they are talking about because what they explain is almost identical to the current Internet system. They mention the uses of servers, HTML, and a basic version of the Windows OS. They commonly refer to everything as the W3 model which I had not heard of until I read this article, but you should get the gist already of what it pertains too.
Anyways, the assignment was to compare this version of the WWW, to other versions we have read about. Basically, I would have to say this form explained is much more simplistic and user friendly than other older forms of thought surrounding the uses of computers. We have read many different articles dealing with the uses of computers and the ways they will change our culture in the future. All of these stories, in my mind, go a little over the top of what we have even experienced yet in our society with technologies. The interfaces, software, and hardware is always so technical with the older thought, that when we look at our current computer technology, everybody should sigh in relief that it's so simple to use.
All in all, I do enjoy reading some of the texts in this book, The New Media Reader, but some of them really make a person's brain hurt afterwards too. Check it out if you like technology though, and keep waiting around because I've been watching some good horror films that I can't wait to tell you about. See ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
